MATTER

MATTER

Basically there are three types of matter solid, liquid and gas but there are two more states of matter Plasma and Bose and Einstein condensate. 

• 1.       Solid are known for their hardness and rigid nature.

·         They have definite mass and volume.

·         The intermolecular space present in it is small.

·         They have compressibility to some extent.

·         They do not show the property of diffusion.

·         They have less kinetic energy.

• 2.      Liquids are known as their fluidity and their irregular shapes.

·         They have fixed volume but not fixed shape.

·         They are more compressible more than solids.

·         They have more kinetic energy than solid.

·         Liquids have fluidity and diffusion.

·         Liquid have lesser density as compared to solids.

·         They have more intermolecular space is more than solids.

• 3.      Gases are known for their maximum fluidity.

·         They do not have definite shape and volume.

·         They are highly compressible.

·          They have maximum kinetic energy and fludity.

·         Gases exert pressure.

·         Intermolecular space is maximum.

·         Gases diffuses very rapidly.

• 4.      Plasma is something which occurs it is own light and basically a mixture of free electrons and ions. Actually inside the Suns and the stars the temperature is high. As a result, the atoms break releasing electrons and the residue particles are called ions which carry positive charge. The mixture of highly energetic electrons and ions is known as plasma which is responsible for the shine or glow. Lightning is also an occurrence of plasma. When electricity pasess through plasma those electrons get out of their nucleus.

·         Plasma do not have definite shape and volume.

·         Plasma conducts electricity.

·         They form an electronic field.

• 5.      Bose-Einstein condensate: a low density gas is cooled to 0K or more down when they cooled  so much  the atoms lose their identity and they forms waves like structures  ,so this change in state of mater is called Bose-Einstein condensate or fifth state of matter.
